Cycling 4 All teamed up with artists Tim Curtis and Luke Owens to make a bike ride with a twist.
In Feb 2015 we set out with bike frames made from bamboo to demonstrate the amount of space a cyclist should be granted on the road according to the Highway Code!

Great video and fantastic message – Give cyclists space 🙂
It is unfortunate that 'Space for Cycling' is being interpreted here by this all-male group middle-agers as: sharing the road with multi-tonne vehicles (inspired, I see at the end of the video, by CTC).
What is required in the busier UK roads are dedicated, protected cycle routes just as there are in the Netherlands. That will bring true equality – as required by law – to transport for anyone, 8-to-80 male or female.
While I commend your campaign for behavioural change. Co-opting a campaign slogan such as #spaceforcycling which is for clear segregation is to be condemed.
